Had the same problem on mine using a revelate sweetroll, switched from the large to the small and all is good.
I've had one of thos mack bags, nice but it won't fit a huge amount of stuff in

I have an older version of this.
- It doesent have webbing for velcro straps so can't customise where I want it tied on the bars.
- the velcro straps provided are REALLY short makes it a pain to install
- I once stuffed 70% of a 10" pizza in it and ate it cold on the road side of col d'izoard before the pros passed, this combined with a top tube bag is plenty for audaxing I think.

If you are concerned about size, Mack made me a custom one of these. It does the job but as it's bigger loses it's shape when not full. Would adjust the design/material if doing again.
ornot sell one that looks more robust, has more pockets and will hold it's shape better but costs much more.

I've tried about 3000 handlebar bags also due to small frame and have settled on a ten quid job from decathlon. Spent the savings on Ritter Sports.

Cut a slot in the leather patch on the bike to attach a strap to go around the top tube to stop any swing.

Looking for a handlebar solution that isn't massive (got an Alpkit dual whatever the fuck but my headtube's so short the bag touches my front wheel so I'm gonna have to get rid of it).
I have a few Mack Workshop bits and absolutely love them, so thinking of getting the bar bag: https://www.mackworkshop.com/products/bar-bag but before I buy it was wondering if anyone has any other solutions that would fit my bike... The Mack Workshop bag would fit, I reckon. Obviously I know this isn't going to fit loads of gear (it's for audaxes and an upcoming lightweight hotel-based LEJOG trip) but I do need something to put some extra bits in as I'll only have an 8 litre bag at the rear.
